When box was off did they check things like crank shaft end play or anything to do with the motor?

Was a new spigot bush installed? Was the gearbox input ahaft checked for straightness?

So over 6 months and a lot of money later and I am still having clutch problems... everything in the hydraulic system except for some of the lines (which are not leaking) is brand new. New slave and master cylinder, new second hand booster, new clutch and flywheel.
I'm finding that when I first start the car, the clutch is perfect. But after driving for a while, the friction point of the clutch moves up the pedal. I don't know if it is dependent on temperature, but that's what I'm thinking?
So at first the friction point is pretty close to the floor which is fine. But after 10 mins or so it starts getting closer to the driver. On our last Licola trip it had moved so far the clutch started slipping, I haven't driven the car since this trip though.
Could it possibly be a vacuum issue? Any other ideas?
I am pulling my hair out with these bloody clutch dramas!
